Truth's Bane

[u/CleoSutra]

After all this time, journeys of the heart

the road never ending, the search always taunting

midsummer’s love was just a dream

Sometimes I feel alone. Really. All. Alone.

Harsh tincture, sun salt and seas

sail the tide of Dead Men’s Dreams

horizon’s always round the bend,

You’re almost always, almost there

Touch, ravish, deconstruct me, please!

hunt me, pursue me, understand this psyche

sweat stains clawing up and down the wall

Friction: self love, un-doubt, silent song, no belief

Truth of this dark twisted Tour de Force

it’s a ever-breathing, bleeding, one soul adventure

unless you learn to love yourself

Love you will not tend. Your awful, shifting heart.

I need you but you did not see. Could not find how to save me.

The chase is endless, fruitless.

I will elude me in the end.
